Sure they are. But most (all?) of it is not Debian fault ;)

That's one of the (major) problems I have with KDE 4.3 announcement. It 
screams about features and says nothing about where a poor user could find 
them. That announcement is already lying about syncing with Google Calendar. 
So I'm interested in this answer too.

As noted in previous mails, disable compositing capability detection in system 
settings and force "Desktop effects".

$ dpkg -l phonon-backend-*

Avoid gstreamer backend (purge it) or at least move Xine backend up in System 
Settings -> Multimedia.
